If you guys will look in your January 2002 G&D on page 11 you will find a photo of one of those critters. It is a speed wrench type with a 3/4" socket on one end. There is also a version with a flat end to remove the hub cap.

Hello ChevyChip:
I enjoyed reading about the Wire Wheel wrench in the G & D in your article. If you would be so kind as to trace the wrench on a large piece of paper, I will include it in my website and in my next printing of my Chevrolet tools booklet.
